Indiaâ€™s Internet Is Really Slooooooooooooooooow

September 17, 2016

Google may be the worldâ€™s biggest Internet company, but Rajan Anandan, the head of its India operation, says heâ€™s become just as focused on what users are doing offline. His team has led Googleâ€™s push into apps that can download data for later use without an active mobile connection.
One helps people navigate New Delhi public transit; another lets users store YouTube videos for replay; a third offers an offline version of Google Maps. These efforts all have the same goal: making Google products easy to use even with poor Internet connections. About 375 million to 400 million people in India are online, the worldâ€™s second-largest Internet population after China. Many depend on mobile connections that can only be generously called spotty.
